    Ninja 250 Jerky Throttle Response

    Thanks invictus43 . I'll just work on keeping my throttle hand as steady as possible I guess. I don't have the "know how" , patience or money right now to do a jetting.

    Ninja 250 Jerky Throttle Response

    The bike jerks whenever you apply or decrease throttle, more so in first and second, slightly on 3rd and not at all in 4th and 5th. I know what people mean by referring to "not being smooth on the throttle" and that this is a common newb mistake. The slightest , and I do mean slightest ...

    Ninja 250 Jerky Throttle Response

    On my 2008 Ninja 250, the throttle control/response is extremely jerky/sensitive in the lower gears, specifically gears 1 and 2. 3rd gear is ok, not very noticeable and on 4/5 it doesn't exist. Regardless of the engine being warmed up, this happens 80% of the time I take it out for a ride (I...

    Can I further reduce the noise on my aftermarket exhaust ?

    Ok, some questions, 1. The aftermarket exhaust on my ninja 250 is new , less than 500km on it. So would repacking it with "Silent Sport / Premium" change it , as in reduce the decibels ? Isn't repacking only done when the packing inside an exhaust has "degraded/worn out" due to mileage ? 2...

    Can I further reduce the noise on my aftermarket exhaust ?

    I bought a Leo Vince GP Corsa Carbon exhaust for my ninja 250 because I didn't like the look of the original exhaust ( also has some rust issues). I was excited to get something "louder" but after a while even with a Decibel Killer installed it started getting on my nerves :rolleyes: . Just...

    Basic question(s) on Exhausts and "re-jetting"

    Mmhmmm ..... I think I'll just stick to "stock". I'm sure no mechanic around here would go through all the trouble to properly install and fine tune a jet kit (like on that post you linked me to) on a 250.

    Basic question(s) on Exhausts and "re-jetting"

    Wow, those are some awesome and detailed responses (Thanks Brian P and Skip). I think you guys straightened me out but I feel like I'm even more confused now (due to all the new technical info), don't really know were to go from here. So..., a slip on exhaust doesn't do much in terms of...

    Basic question(s) on Exhausts and "re-jetting"

    Then why did the dealer "make it sound" like the Leo Vince exhaust shouldn't be coupled with a jet kit ?

    Basic question(s) on Exhausts and "re-jetting"

    I've been looking at a Leo Vince GP Corsa Carbon slip on exhaust and also looking at a dyno jet kit. One of the Leo Vince suppliers told me that the GP Corsa exhaust was designed for use without any "re-jetting" (I asked about a dyno jet kit). What does this exactly mean ? How do you know...

    Cheapest online store for Kawasaki Ninja parts ?

    Thanks, just passed by there today and ordered a rear axle for 47bux. (Not bad considering no shipping charges...) I also ended up asking so guy there if it would be worth spending some cash to do some upgrades to my ninja 250 or just move to a 600 (obviously 600 is the way to go). I asked him...

    Grinding noise on front wheel of Ninja 250

    I just bought a used 08 Ninja 250, had 7000+ km on it when I bought it. I had it certified by Ted Rose of Rosey Toes Motorcycles and was told that the break pads have around 40% left in them before I need a change. With the engine off and in neutral, whenever I roll the bike into my garage or...

    University Insurance ?
